This is the first ranked road win in UNCW history.
We just went into historic Rupp Arena against one of the best programs in the history of the basketball and shocked the nation.
Historic.

“This atmosphere tonight is what college basketball is all about—Going to Allen Fieldhouse, Cameron Indoor Stadium, The Dean Dome. This [Trask Coliseum] was as electric of an atmosphere as you’ll ever play in.”
I want to say thank you to all of you for the tremendous support and love you’ve shown me!
I started this account on February 19th, 2022. 33 days later I have 291 followers and counting.
I’m glad I can help bring exposure to this program.
Big things ahead for UNCW!
UNCW COMPLETES THE SEASON SWEEP OF THE CHARLESTON COUGARS!
Seahawks earned a gutsy 80-74 victory on the road in a tough environment.
Fantastic bounce back game that has huge implications in the CAA standings.

deserves your attention as well.
The boys are a consensus top-50 team and host

Campbell tomorrow at Brooks Field.
I’ll be in attendance and hope all of you are as well.
Monmouth HC King Rice had nothing but good things to say about Trask Coliseum.
UNCW continues to be the fanbase blueprint for the CAA.
I hope Monmouth’s fans show out like we do—their team deserves it.
What a phenomenal job by
@CoachSiddleUNCW
.
Two nights ago UNCW blew a lead at ECU. They hopped on a bus, regrouped, and beat Kentucky with only one day of rest and preparation.
Sensational job by Takayo Siddle and his entire staff.
March 13th, 2016.
UNCW went on to lead Duke 43-40 at halftime before ultimately falling 93-85. It was the most watched NCAA Tournament game outside of the Final Four.
March is for moments like this.
I’m not one for cliche’s, but this season really is the season of “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened”
A lot of good memories from this group. Defying the odds on a nightly basis shouldn’t be forgotten or minimized because of tonight.
UNCW never trailed in tonight’s CBI semifinal game.
5 players scored in double figures, with
@AmariKelly12
chipping in 8 points as well.
Sims- 17p, 5r, 2s
Harvey- 15p, 4r
Phillips- 13p, 6r, 4a, 0 TO
Baker Jr.- 11p
Thomas- 10p, 4r
Kelly- 8p, 4r
What a team effort.
CAA teams have put the country on notice during non-conference play:
UNCW over Kentucky
Drexel over Villanova
Delaware over Xavier
Monmouth over West Virginia
All were true road games.
It’s time to give the CAA the respect it deserves.
🚨13 CONSECUTIVE WINS—A NEW SCHOOL RECORD FOR THE 2nd STRAIGHT SEASON🚨
Trask Coliseum will be ROCKING Wednesday night as the nation’s two longest winning streaks collide.
Charleston-UNCW will be an instant classic.
It’s a huge GAMEDAY in Wilmington, as the
#22
Charleston Cougars (16-1, 4-0) take on the UNCW Seahawks (14-3, 4-0) at Trask Coliseum.
It’s the 2nd sellout of the season, and just the 4th time a ranked opponent has traveled to Wilmington to play UNCW.

Thank you for 4 years of blood, sweat and tears.

is on the Mount Rushmore of UNCW basketball.
Best of luck to you throughout the NBA Draft process.
I know I sound like a broken record, but Trazarien White is so damn good.
This kid is a freshman who outworks every other player on the floor. Offensive rebounds, steals, blocks, loose balls, charges.
Best glue guy in the CAA.
Jamarii. Thomas.
This kid has confidence. He has intensity. He has energy.
Those 3 things are easy to lose after sitting on the bench nearly all season. Props to you,
@JamariiThomas

The 7-foot, 280-lb center averaged 10.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and 0.8 blocks on 63.3% from the field and 63.3% from the line in 26.6 minutes last season as a Sophomore at Niagara.
Strong impact presence on both ends. Serious needle mover.
UNCW BEATS NORTH TEXAS 55-51 TO CLAIM THE
@BahaMarHoops
CHAMPIONSHIP! 🏆💯
Seahawks beat Missouri State, Vermont & North Texas to claim the trophy.
UNCW’s latest victim, North Texas, came into the championship game ranked 64th on KenPom. Seahawks beat UNT at their own game.
UNCW has killed it in Transfer portal.
Four monster additions. Two scholarships left to work with.
Seahawks have the be the favorite to win the CAA at this point.
Three hours to tip-off and the student ticket line is getting long outside of Trask Coliseum.
6 PM tip-off between UNCW and Charleston on CBSSN with the great

SEAHAWKS WIN!
UNCW comes from 16 down to blowout Elon 75-58 in the CAA tournament QF.
Sims, White, Okauru & Phillips all score in double figures.
15 point, 11 rebound double-double for

.
UNCW committed just 5 turnovers in the game.
🔥FRIDAY FUN FACT🔥
UNCW finished last season 146th in the standings; higher than 8 NCAA Tournament teams & 5th best in NC.
Schools ranked lower than UNCW:
• GT
• Georgetown
• Pitt
• UGA
• Oregon St
• ECU 👀
• UNCC 👀
Fairleigh Dickinson transfer Sean Moore has committed to UNCW.
6’5” G averaged 11.9 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals on 40.3/31.8/73.3 shooting splits.
Moore scored 19 against Purdue & 14 points and 9 rebounds against FAU during FDU’s cinderella run.
UNCW basketball will have a postseason. For the first time in school history, UNCW will participate in the CBI (College Basketball Invitational).
Not a bad consolation prize. Excited to see this group continue their season.
UNCW and Charleston to the A10 would be great for both programs and great for the A10.
Huge rivalry, two elite mid majors, two elite MM fanbases (better attendance than 2/3 the A10), would renew the UNCW-VCU/George Mason rivalries as well.
With the A10 losing yet another member in UMass, where should the conference turn to now?
Early favorites amongst the A10 crowd are Charleston, Drake, Murray State, Colgate, or Belmont.
🚨PSA🚨
Wednesday night’s game vs College of Charleston is a sellout.
59th sellout in Trask Coliseum history. Possibly the first sellout + whiteout in school history.
Show up early, wear white, and be loud!
Sunday is a BIG home game at 4pm versus Delaware.
National TV audience (CBSSN).
Let’s show the country just how special a gameday in Wilmington can be.
UNCW is a 2.5 point underdog in tonight’s CAA championship game, because why not?
Seahawks have been underdogs all season long. UNCW holds the 3rd best ATS record in the country.
P.S. UNCW was +1100 to win the CAA tournament. Praying for those of you that played it!
Charleston wins its FIFTEENTH straight game! Now 16-1 on the year🤯

has a game against UNCW, who has won 13 in a row, Wednesday night at 7pm ET.
That game MUST be on national TV. MUST

and now… UNCW
It’s fitting UNCW came back from 11 down, to win in 2OT with 4 starters on the bench due to fouling out.
It’s fitting that
@_kovo
was the hero. 56 minutes of action for Samb all year long, but he stepped up to the line and drained both FTs like he’d done it a thousand times.
Thank you everyone for 600 followers!
I created this account less than a year ago. I’ve only had this account for 3-3 1/2 months of UNCW basketball.
You guys have been awesome. Big game tomorrow!
Random thought for
@uncwmenshoops
&
@SeahawkAD
: Arrange a bus or two for UNCW students to make our presence felt at the Dean Dome in Chapel Hill on November 7th.
“Trask Coliseum is one of the best places in college basketball right now.
I give the fans an A+. I give the students an A+. It was on that level. It felt like a mid-march game.”

@John_Fanta
Fanta knows what he’s talking about. He’s been around the block. UNCW is special.
Something else to note about this team:
I’ve lived in Wilmington for a very long time. I’ve *never* seen/felt this much enthusiasm about a team in this town.
That, in and of itself, is special. It’s extraordinary considering this team didn’t make the NCAA tournament.
UNCW finished tied for 2nd in the nation with Iowa State in win differential from last year to this year.
Great to see 3 of top 4 are mid majors. 2 of top 4 are CAA clubs, and T-1 with Towson is MTSU, who UNCW beat in the CBI Championship game.

Eric Van Der Heijden, a native of Raleigh, NC, & former Ole Miss G/F has committed to UNCW.
The 6’8, 205-lb wing averaged 18.2 points, 11.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists and shot 40%+ from three at Millbrook High School.
Former 3⭐️ who was verbally committed to Louisville.
Analysis:
Trask Coliseum is the toughest place to play in CAA, according to

Nothing new for UNCW fans, but good to see national recognize. Trask is certainly a special place.
Congratulations to former UNCW star Jaylen Sims on signing an Exhibit 10 deal with the Charlotte

Sims joins Devontae Cacok as the second UNCW alum to ink an Exhibit 10 deal, as Cacok signed with Portland Trail Blazers.
This is just the beginning!

UNCW has now gone viral on college basketball Tik Tok.
Props to
@jsheekster
for sending me the link.
All of this is pretty damn cool for our guys. They 100% deserve the recognition.
The amount of people that have left early with UNCW up big is disrespectful to the players and coaches.
Guys work their butts off to win like this. Least you can do is stay til the final horn and give them a proper sendoff.
Facts about James Madison:
-They’ve only made the NCAA tournament one (1) time since it expanded to 64 teams (1985)
-Since 1985 Monmouth has made it 4 times, Hampton has made it 6 times, and NC A&T has made it 7 times

@SSN_UNCW
Facts about UNCW:
- 1-6 in the NCAAs all time
- About to be stuck in a conference with Monmouth, Hampton, and NC A&T
- Had to get a bunch of crazy calls go their way to beat an injury ridden JMU by 1 point (twice btw)
